Plessey Breeze plugs and sockets needed.

24V for a few lights isn’t ever going to do any damage, especially with nice new wires running through the aeroplane.

I digress – what plug styles do you need? There are many, many different types!

Whilst I appreciate that whatever I say will have no effect on the museum Trustees and Management, I don’t see that their attitude should preclude you from doing a ‘proper job’ and working to make everything capable of functioning to the extent possible.
I would accept that on a day-to-day basis you wouldn’t want the cockpit powered whilst Joe Public is in the vicinity. But that shouldn’t preclude ‘special events’ with power on and items demonstrated by a qualified operator as the long-term aim.
Much more interesting and educational than a lifeless ‘stuffed and mounted’ exhibit IMHO.
So I would recommend you design and build your replica Junction Boxes and harnesses to the appropriate quality, not just as dummies.

Hi

Sorry, what I meant was, what would you have powered had you been allowed to power the cockpit? What did you plan to have working?

Cheers

As mentioned in the initial post; nothing will be powered in the cockpit as the risk of electrical failure with Joe public in the vicinity is too great.

Hi

I’ve never seen anything electrical working on a museum exhibit – what were you planning to power?

Cheers

Because this project is being constructed as a Museum exhibit; and you wouldn’t believe how tight the H&S edicts are with regard to public access.
As a purely voluntary, self-funded enterprise, we just can’t afford the convoluted risk assessment protocols that need to be in place.
Therefore, it has been decided by the Trustees and Management of the Museum that the exhibit will be purely static in all respects, to the extent that we can’t even use the correct accumulators as they are lead/acid, (even if we could find them;) and will need to fabricate replicas to resemble the originals.
You must also remember that all the electrical components fitted in the cockpit section have been gathered from all manner of sources, and are therefore suspect with regard to their electrical safety; and we do not have the workshop facilities or equipment to rectify such components.
However; if we could locate a sponsor with exceptionally deep pockets… well that’s another story!

Whilst I agree that you shouldn’t just be “whacking 24 volts through seventy-year-old equipment”, I don’t see why you aren’t properly assessing and repairing items and progressively making things work.
